Overview
- The eclipse’s total phase runs from 12:04 to 13:02 MEZ, with maximum at 12:33 MEZ, following a penumbral start at 09:44 and a partial phase beginning at 10:50.
- Best viewing is reported for Hawaii, Alaska, eastern Russia, much of the North American Pacific coast, East Asia, Australia and the wider Pacific region.
- Observers in Germany and most of Europe cannot see any stage of the event and are directed to watch via livestreams if they wish to follow it in real time.
- The Moon appears red during totality because Earth’s atmosphere scatters shorter wavelengths and transmits predominantly red light to the lunar surface.
- For viewers in Germany, the next major opportunities are a deep partial eclipse on 28 August 2026 and the next total eclipse on 31 December 2028.
